49: Amazing harvest

After killing someone, he calmly took a detour back to the Night Watch Division, a routine Xiao Shi was already incredibly familiar with.

He changed into clean clothes and, with anticipation, opened his storage bag, taking out the two items he had previously acquired.

The harvest this time was quite bountiful.

Although there were only two items, items dropped by a deceased Ninth Level Entrance to Martial Realm Warrior were often high-quality.

Their value was astounding!

There was even a certain chance that a higher grade Qi Warrior Grade item might drop.

Xiao Shi was quite expectant about this.

After all, this kill, though seemingly easy, actually took some effort.

It wasn't that simple.

Especially in terms of item consumption.

The black ink stone and soaring sword grass were completely used up.

The Swamp Array had one use left.

Although items were consumed, Xiao Shi believed it was all worth it.

The value of this harvest would surely be higher than the value of the consumed items.

Immediately, his gaze focused on the items.

Information about the items quickly appeared before his eyes.

Name: Night Bloom

Type: Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure

Grade: Entering Martial Rank

Description: Night Bloom, also known as Moonlight, is a rare treasure, with green cylindrical stems, tendrils, four high-footed, saucer-shaped flowers, either white or pink with light green veins, and a fragrant, ring-shaped disc. The flowers open at night and close only at dawn.

Note: As its name suggests, there will be a big difference between night and day.

Xiao Shi's eyes immediately lit up.

Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasures were precisely what he currently lacked.

And this Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure was somewhat different from previous ones.

This Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure was somewhat similar to night frost dew, belonging to the category that could receive an extra boost at night!

This would perfectly suit Night Tiger.

Perhaps using this Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure would not only allow him to achieve his fifth body refinement but also increase Night Tiger's cultivation efficiency.

This made Xiao Shi very excited.

After all, Night Tiger's cultivation had always been slow.

And night frost dew was too expensive.

He couldn't afford it at all.

If this Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure could accelerate Night Tiger's cultivation... then the value of this single Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure alone would completely outweigh the black ink stone and soaring sword grass he had previously consumed.

"As expected, items from the Entering Martial Realm Ninth Level are always high-quality!"

Xiao Shi was very excited.

This first item gave him a considerable surprise.

He eagerly looked at the second item.

The second item was no longer a Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure.

Instead, it was a black mask.

Name: martial emperor mask

Type: Mask

Grade: Entering Martial Rank

Description: It is the iconic Emperors Armor of successive Martial Emperors. It is said that collecting the complete set of Emperors Armor grants the qualification to ascend the throne as the new Martial Emperor.

Note 1: The Martial Emperor Regalia is divided into a total of eight parts, each corresponding to a martial arts realm.

Note 2: Only the strongest in that martial arts realm can wear the Emperors Armor.

Note 3: The martial emperor mask can change one's temperament, forming a wisp of imperial aura, ignoring all aura suppression, and immune to all poisonous gases and miasma.

Note 4: The martial emperor mask can conceal all of one's aura.

Xiao Shi looked at the information appearing in his vision.

His entire mind was already stirred up with colossal waves.

The items dropped this time... were truly somewhat terrifying!

"It's actually one of the components of the Emperors Armor!"

Although Xiao Shi didn't know if the Martial Emperor was the highest existence in this world, the information in the notes suggested that there were at least eight martial arts realms in this world.

After all, the Emperors Armor had a total of eight parts, each corresponding to a martial arts realm.

The current mask corresponded to the first martial arts realm, the Entering Martial Realm.

"Then, in each realm, the Emperors Armor is almost the best item!"

Xiao Shi's heart burned with fervor.

The value of this item... was truly astonishing!

It far exceeded all previously dropped items.

To be able to drop an item of this quality, he had truly had a stroke of great luck this time.

If he could collect the complete set of Emperors Armor in the future... just thinking about it made him excited.

However, wearing the Emperors Armor also presented a considerable challenge.

Only the strongest in that realm could wear it.

This 'strongest' might not just refer to the strongest in a specific area but potentially the strongest in the entire world.

This made it very difficult.

If it was just becoming the strongest Entering Martial Realm in Seven Stars Province, achieving nine body refinements would definitely make it possible.

But in the context of the entire world... nine body refinements might not be enough to be the strongest.

After all, there weren were people in the world who had undergone nine body refinements.

To become the strongest Entering Martial Realm in this world, merely nine body refinements was clearly insufficient.

This made Xiao Shi realize that he needed more items that could enhance his strength.

If he hadn't obtained the martial emperor mask, he wouldn't have thought of necessarily pursuing the strongest, but now that he had obtained it... if he couldn't wear it, it would be meaningless.

Becoming the strongest Entering Martial Realm naturally became his goal.

"I need more items!"

Xiao Shi was already somewhat eager to go and eradicate the surrounding evil forces.

However, he still suppressed the impulse in his heart.

No matter what, he would first break through to the Entering Martial Realm Ninth Level.

"Now, let's proceed with the fifth body refinement!"

Xiao Shi put the martial emperor mask into his storage bag and began to refine his body using the Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure, Night Bloom, in his hand.

He was very much looking forward to how much his cultivation of Night Tiger would accelerate after this refinement.

At the same time, the news of the death of two Bounty Hunters quickly spread back to the Senluo Organization through their moles in Jin Yun City.

Cai Zuo, as an elder of the Senluo Organization, immediately made an announcement within the organization upon receiving this news.

"Effective immediately, all Bounty Hunters are prohibited from entering Jin Yun City!"

He had already intended to do this last time, but he still wanted to try one last time.

With two Ninth Level Entrance to Martial Realm Bounty Hunters now also dead in Jin Yun City... he had completely realized that Jin Yun City had become a forbidden zone for their Bounty Hunters!

No other Bounty Hunters could be allowed to enter.

Entering meant certain death!

At the same time, the genius bounty list released by the Senluo Organization also changed.

The second-ranked position had become 'Anonymous Night Watch', second only to Chu Daoxi, who was ranked first.

Although ranked second, his mysteriousness made this 'Anonymous Night Watch' attract widespread attention throughout Seven Stars Province.

Everyone expressed shock and confusion about this.

Although the Senluo Organization's genius bounty list was not a list representing glory, those who could make it onto the list were a testament to their strength and recognition.

And historically, those who could make it onto the genius bounty list always had names.

This was the first time such a mysterious figure without a specific name had appeared, and his ranking was directly second.

Even the Flying Origin Palace was greatly shaken by this.

For a time, not only the Senluo Organization wanted to know who this Anonymous Night Watch was, but all the major and minor forces in Seven Stars Province also wanted to know.
